Kapil Dev will train Ranveer Singh for 83

One thing that we have learnt from Ranveer Singh’s career so far is that he never sways away from experimenting. Starting off his career as a typical Delhi boy in Band Baaja Baarat, he has also pulled off roles like the menacing Alauddin Khilji in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat and Peshwa Bajirao in Bajirao Mastani effortlessly. And now, the actor is gearing up for his next film which will recreate the iconic cricket World Cup win of India in the year 1983 on the big screen. Directed by Kabir Khan, the film is titled 83 and is said to be based on the life of cricket legend Kapil Dev.

A report in a leading daily has claimed that it will be Kapil Dev himself who will assist Ranveer for the prep of the film. According to the report, Kapil Dev will be flying to Mumbai in November, which is a month before Ranveer begins shooting for the film. Vishnu Induri, one of the co-producers of the film, was quoted saying, 'Ranveer will start prepping from November. Kabir and he are in touch with Kapil, who will fly down to Mumbai for a week in November to help Ranveer prep for the role. Every actor will be spending quality time with their muse. The members of the "83 team have come on board as consultants.'
